Alright so I'm shooting to get MGSGt (Master Gunnery Sgt), so I don't have to have a star like everyone else >.> so I'm wondering if I can get all the basic badges after ranking up to Master Sergeant, or will I be promoted to Sgt Major at 50K if I get all the basic badges but was promoted to Master Sergeant at 20K? Basically:

20K: Master Sergeant
Get all basic badges
50K: Sgt Major or Mstr Gunny Sgt?

leave a basic vehicle badge till you get 50k, Basic Armor Badge, Basic Transport Badge, Basic Helicopter Badge, Basic Aviator Badge, Basic Air Defense Badge, Basic Ground Defense Badge , & you'll get your wish.

If u do that (not being Sgt Major) u will be outranked when applying for Commander by any guy even with much less points than u. Anyways, if u become a MGSgt and then get the badges u wont get promoted to Major; the requeriment is BEFORE the promotion, not after.
Also, for 1st Sgt only all COMBAT Badges are required. So, when u hit the 20k and one Combat Badge is missing u, u wont get the "Advanced Rank".
For Sgt Major only all TRANSPORT badges (so to call them) are required.
So:
20K: Master Sergeant
Get all basic badges (NOT CORRECT); If u hit the 20k with all ur basic badges u will be a 1st Sgt. Coz u fill the requirement since u have all ur combat basic badges, never minding if u have the others or not).
and if:
50K: With all basic badges?
if u hav'em before the promotion: Sgt Major.

But beware, bcoz u said u dont wanna have a star like everyone else, but hitting 20k with all basic combat badges will make u wear a diamond like everyone else. (1 Sgt).

I'd strongly recommend u to stick to the program, son. Why do u wanna be different to everyone else? Do u think ur special or something? U better lighten up!

lol Collider

I like the rank insignia more >.> and I don't play commander, AT ALL, so that's no deal to me. I'm much more useful on the ground fighting instead of sitting there placing UAV and the Red Circle Of Death.

Thanks guys

Btw, I forgot to tell that you dont need the Explosives Ordinance Badge at all to get the 1Sgt or Sgt Major Promotion. Being a difficult badge to get, it can come in handy to know you dont need it at all for the promotions. And be careful here too, coz maybe u were thinking "I'm leaving that badge for later so I wont get promoted as a Sgt Major" coz you're gonna get promoted!!
